I've had a lousy cold for most of the last week and have only felt better in the last couple of days. I had to miss the last Kinder of the term and even missed playgroup I was so sick. But I've still had a good week with a few fun outings.

Mum, Dad, Jasmine and I all went off to Brunetti's together on the weekend. I picked a table at the end of the cafe where I sat on the banquette seat with Daddy and tried to scoff as much of his donut as I could. Jazzie sat in a highchair and also had some donut, although she took ages sucking on a tiny little piece. Once I'd finished the donut I tried to pinch some escargo off Mummy, but she wasn't so keen on sharing. I got a tiny edge crust from her. I took a really good photo from the table looking into the cafe; I really focussed on getting a good picture and after I'd taken it two men came over to see how the picture turned out - you can see their faces peering in the side of the photo, which is up on Jasmine's site since she got in the picture. They were very impressed!

The highlight of my week was a special trip into the city with Daddy on Wednesday. We set off early and got a tram and a couple of trains into the city. We got off at one of the underground stations - I was very excited to go in the tunnel - and I went up the longest, highest escalator I've ever seen. We popped up on the street and headed off to Pellegrini's for morning tea. I had a hot chocolate while Daddy had coffee and toast. I really, really loved that hot chocolate and carefully drank the whole thing without spilling a drop.

Then we jumped on a tram and went to the ABC shop. I was so excited and played with every toy I could get my hands on. I did a really good Cookie Monster voice and made him move around as I spoke. I also played with the Playschool toys and really liked Jemima, plus I found the Wiggles' big red car and spent ages playing with that. I found a birthday present to give to Jasmine: a t-shirt with Jemima on it, and Daddy bought me a present too: I picked Brum. He wobbles as he drives forwards and the doors open and the headlights wiggle about too. I love it. Daddy had to drag me out of the shop.

After the ABC shop we walked to Uncle Ad's work where I looked out the windows at the amazing view. Uncle Ad came out to say hello, but I suddenly got all shy and clung to Daddy. I happily ate a peach while we were there, though. We had a toilet stop afterwards and Daddy held me up so I could pee in the big man's urinal. That was fun!! Then we got in another lift and went right up the top of the Rialto building to the observation deck. That was amazing and Daddy said we could see all the way out to our house, but I couldn't see it.

We got on another two trams to the Polly Woodside and Maritime Museum. I had a great time poking about this great big boat and made the bell clang and turned the wheel. There was no-one else on the boat so we had it all to ourselves. It was the best fun.

By then I was getting tired, so we got on the tram where I fell asleep snuggled on the seat with my legs on Daddy's lap. I woke when we got off the tram but went straight to bed when we got home. It was a really great day.

Thursday afternoon at playgroup we had an easter egg hunt. I've never done anything like that before and it was wonderful! Michelle told us all what to do: we had to search around for the eggs, then take them to a big basket and go off to find more eggs. There were eight of us big kids and a few little ones like Jasmine all running around hunting for tiny eggs. Once I couldn't hold anymore in my hands I took them to the basket and set off again. It was a bit strange, though, because eggs kept appearing in areas that I was sure I'd already searched. But I didn't care, I just collected them again and delivered them to the basket. Once we'd found them all we went inside for a special afternoon tea of hot cross buns, orange juice and easter eggs. We were all very happy and munched away before taking off to play again.

I settled myself at the side of the room and built a really long wall out of blocks. I got a tiny little boy doll and he was Virgil, and I got a block for him to lie on and slid the block along the wall just like how Virgil goes down in the Thunderbirds. I spent ages happily making Virgil stand against the wall and tip backwards and slide along. Then Gabriel came over and tried to play with me, but he knocked part of my wall over. I was devastated and went crying to Mummy and pointed and cried at Gabriel. Mum came over and helped rebuild the wall and she showed Gabriel what I was doing and got him a doll and block as well. I was okay with that and started showing Gabe how to make Virgil slide along, but then Oliver came over and knocked the whole wall down! I was mortified and cried for ages. I was still sulking when it was pack up time, but finally got over it when Mum and I went out to the tennis court and played chasey. I felt better when we left to go home.
